Factbird launches next-gen Manufacturing Intelligence Suite

FEBRUARY 2024, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK--Factbird, a leader in manufacturing intelligence, has launched an advanced software suite, setting a new standard for operational excellence in 2025 and beyond.

This expanded suite was announced at the annual Factbird Forward event in Copenhagen on December 4, 2024. It includes three powerful applications: Production Insights, Connected Operations, and Knowledge Excellence, designed to help manufacturers improve efficiency, visibility, and worker empowerment with a system that is easy to use and has quick time-to-value.

“We’ve always focused on giving manufacturers real-time visibility into their operations,” said Søren Schønnemann, CEO of Factbird. “Now, we’re taking it further. Tracking and analyzing downtime is just the start. Today’s manufacturers need deeper insights, seamless execution, and smarter tools that empower their teams and drive productivity.”

A suite built for modern manufacturing challenges

Factbird's expanded suite, built on eight years of expertise in plug-and-play production tracking, addresses the pressing needs of modern manufacturers by simplifying digital transformation, optimizing operations, and supporting sustainability goals.

Production Insights—Factbird’s core performance tracking application now includes new capabilities:

• Factory Overview: See performance across multiple sites and lines.
• Shift Management: Optimize scheduling with real-time and historical data.
• AI-powered Assistant: Query production data using natural language.

Connected Operations—Factbird’s shop floor execution application ensures frontline workers have the right information at the right time through digital guidance and automation.

• Digital Workflows: Replace paper-based processes with guided digital checklists.
• Customizable Activities and Triggers: Automate quality checks, process controls, and maintenance tasks.
• Paperless Operations: Standardize execution and ensure compliance while reducing errors.

Knowledge Excellence—Factbird’s workforce development application helps manufacturers improve skills management, training, and continuous improvement.

• Skills Management: Track workforce competencies and identify training gaps.
• Training: Deliver structured, custom training designed for shop floor teams.
• Continuous Improvement: Use digital continuous improvement tools to systematically improve the production process.

"We are tackling manufacturing challenges by addressing ‘jobs to be done’ in three key areas,” explained Nikolaj Arslev, Product Manager at Factbird. “First, managing performance. Second, managing execution around the production line. And third, improving people and processes to drive lasting change.”

Simplifying digital transformation for faster results

Factbird’s new suite is designed with one key principle in mind: manufacturers need tools that deliver value fast, without complexity.

“We’ve seen many companies invest years into building internal systems that never get completed,” said Schønnemann. “Others turn to industrial giants, only to find that implementation is just as complex. The biggest barriers to change are complexity and time. Manufacturers need fast, effective solutions that deliver value immediately—and that’s exactly what Factbird provides.”

With a commitment to continuous development, Factbird will introduce even more enhancements in 2025, including improved scheduling, reactive maintenance capabilities, and new lean tools for root cause analysis.
